I'm currently re-reading the Drizzt Do'Urden books by R. A. Salvatore which I think are excellent. Chronologic the Dark Elf Trilogy comes first (Homeland, Exile, Sojourn.) The first three written was the Icewind Dale Trilogy (The Crystal Shard, Streams of Silver, The Halfling's Gem.)

If you haven't already, take a look at Baen's store which deals mostly in fantasy and science fiction books. They have a free library where you can download some of their books for free, and all of their books are also DRM-free. I can recommend The Deeds of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon. Sheepfarmer's Daughter, the first book in the series, is available for free in their library.

Check out The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. It was just released about a week ago. And it's epic in every sense of the word. My iPad copy is 1038 vertical "pages" long, so it'll keep you busy for a while with the HC being 1008 =)

I know it's geared more for young adults, but I am enjoying the Pendragon series. I got the first one free from Sony, but that was a long time ago, and it got me reading more in the series. I think I'm on the 4th book in the series.

A song of ice and fire by G.R.R. Martin, everyone (well 3 persons) I recommended it to liked it.

I just started reading that series and really enjoyed the first book. However, after looking into it, it seems like the author is in no hurry to finish that series. I think the last book in the series was published in 2005 and there are still 3 more books planned in the series. Just a bit of warning.

I can recommend The Deeds of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon. Sheepfarmer's Daughter, the first book in the series, is available for free in their library.

This is a good series, the first one a bit slow but the following two very good.
I'm currently reading "The legacy of Gird" by the same author which explains a lot of stuff coming into play in The Deeds of Paksenarrion.

She's also writing two sequels to the Paks-series where one is currently out:
Oath of Fealty
Kings of the North is coming out March 22, 2011.

The Sheepfarmer's Daughter turned out to be a rather dull book with not much happening.

But you did forget to mention that it is book 1 of a series with the other book(s) not yet out.
